2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumTheBiden showed Ryan a thing or two about debating
first of all, tell the truth or you will get laughed at on national television.
second of all, have some passion about what you believe in, otherwise it's just words.
third of all, believe what you say. having "dead eyes" when you're speaking is
a clear indicator that you do not believe what you are saying.
